Eating caapi makes you very in tune with your suroundings and sensitive to the effects of many plants. Wouldnt be hard to dose a bunch of caapi and try different plants.

This has actually been asked to many shamans, and their answers consisted of "The Spirits Told us." - "The Ancestors Told Us." - "The Plants told us."
So considering this, with these answers being passed down, it's easy to speculate that the real methods were lost long ago.. But it's also possible to speculate, that these answers are exactly how it was done..
Intuitive Insight, and Communication with Nature, and Communication with Spirit/Source.
How do certain aboriginal cultures know things about astrology and astronomy without having telescopes or outside influences/connections?- things like how Sirius is a binary star system, or how our own planets have specific satellites/moons..? Some of these cultures believe they are in fact Star Beings/from other star systems..
Consider how Mckenna was instructed to investigate the I-ching from a psychedelic trip..?
The kinds of things we experience now-adays from psychoactive, is a fraction of the potential of our true mental/physical powers/abilities/senses..

It's sad to think of all the novice shamans thrown in a heap.
